The Contracting Authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are Small or Medium Enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.

Other Social Housing Providers in the UK (both those that are in existence now and those that may come into existence during the term of the Framework Agreement) may also be entitled to call-off contracts under the Framework Agreement. “Social Housing Provider” for this purpose means any provider of social housing and includes registered providers (as listed on the Gov.UK Website: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/current-registered-providers-of-social-housing), and may include local authorities and ALMO's. Applicants should note that, under the Framework Agreement, no organisation that is entitled to call-off shall be under any obligation to do so neither does the social housing provider in question have the automatic right to do so without direct permission from Network Homes Ltd.

Where other “Social Housing Providers” call-off contracts under this Framework Agreement, the value of the framework stipulated in II.2.6) may increase over its 4 year duration.

The estimated value of the framework is 4 000 000 GBP across both lots.
